About this property

Modern & Cozy Ski Retreat .5 mi from Ski Roundtop, close to Messiah University

Less than a mile from Ski Roundtop, this remodeled 4 bedroom, 2 bath home is the perfect ski and snowboard basecamp. Wake up, gear up, and be on the slopes in minutes... then return to your private 4 acre retreat to relax by the fireplace. The bright, open floor plan features all new flooring, paint, windows, and siding, plus a fully stocked modern kitchen for easy breakfasts before first chair and cozy dinners after a full day on the mountain. Enjoy the convenience of a dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer, and start your mornings at the coffee bar complete with a traditional coffee maker, Nespresso machine, and milk frother. Sleeping up to 10 (max 8 adults) with a king suite (with smart TV), two queen bedrooms, and a bunk room with two bunk beds (4 twin beds, no adults to sleep on top bunks), there’s space for the whole crew. Dedicated space for unloading ski/snow gear, a 75 inch Roku TV in the living room, off-street parking for 3–4 cars, and a peaceful setting make this the ideal spot to enjoy the slopes and unwind comfortably.

Important information you need to know...
- If something is missing, broken, or you need help in any way, please message the Host so that they can address the problem for you ASAP.
- No smoking.
- Please Note: Child-friendly does not mean the area is child-proof. It is the responsibility of the guardian/parent to monitor their children's actions at all times.
- No events, parties, or large gatherings.
- The property is on 4+ acres but there are neighbors you can see.
- This property requires stairs to access.
- Do not rinse any food or grease down the kitchen (any) sink drain.
- The septic system would appreciate it if you do not flush any trash, paper towels, "flushable" wipes, baby wipes, feminine products, condoms, diapers, or anything that is not toilet paper down the toilet.
- Three of the bedrooms do not have closets, they have hooks, sorry for the inconvenience.
- During ski season the road out front can be busy, please be mindful and aware when turning or backing out into the road.
- Please lock the doors on your way out.
- Damage Protection: This option is turned on and is optional for your booking. Our guests have been amazing and we've never had any problems with damage. If you select "no" for Damage protection...that also means, that by booking with us you are agreeing to pay for any damages we find when you leave; this will occur as an additional charge. And, yes, we would message you immediately if we find something amiss. Again, just an FYI; we don't expect any issues!
- Please do not rearrange the furniture.
- The parking area is stone and the paver path to the home can be muddy at times depending on the weather. We have rugs outside and inside the front door for your use. No shoes inside the house. Please be mindful of the flooring ~ bring slippers :)
- Water: Rural mountain homes are different than a home in the city. Most homes in the area get their water from a well which means the pressure isn't as high as city water. Our well water has proven wonderful and we have a UV water filtration system... we drink from the tap!
~ All appliances are brand new - for some reason the dishwasher doesn't fully dry the dishes, we set the dishes out to dry for a little or dry by hand.
~ Our home is in a rural area, there can be bugs/pests sometimes; main culprit being ladybugs. We treat for them and do what we can but...if you are a Phish fan we will quote "Welcome this is our "Mountain-house", we have "ladybugs", alas... and this time of year is bad. We are so very sorry, there is little we can do, but swat them."
-We have 3 permitted Audio/Visual camera locations In the exterior of the house

Camera Locations:
Rear corner facing the parking area side of the property.
Rear corner facing the fruit tree side of the property.

Host profile image

I grew up in Lewisberry! I love spending time with family and friends, skiing, cooking, hiking and painting. I love providing a cozy and welcoming home to travelers : )

Why they chose this property

Our family loves the mountain and we saw a need in the area for a home that a family or two could share together... and so close to skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing as well as Pinchot State Park, Wedding venues, Messiah University, Dickinson College, Mechanicsburg, Harrisburg and Hershey.

What makes this property unique

The modern updates and the calm you feel while you are there : )
